General call for info: I’ve gotten a couple of cryptic emails from people who think that something on this site was quoted or referred to (without the site being named) in Frank Rich’s most recent column. I would be very surprised, but if true I’d be curious. Anybody know anything?
I’m in Australia and completely (and blissfully) out of the loop.
I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Yes, yes, word of Bush’s even-more-complete stepping on the constitution has reached the southern hemisphere. But let’s spend a minute on what’s really important in the world:
Baby wombats!
There may be very brief outages (a minute here, a minute there) while I update site software. RSS Functions (as well as a few others) may be down briefly. Wishing all our readers the best of the season! — Colin Newell. BobHarris.Com is currently running at 100% functionality – email me via webmaster if you see anything unusual or alarming.
I would like to take this moment to thank all of the readers, regulars, first-timers and the "once-was-more-than-enough" visitors to Bobharris.Com. Thank-you!
Working with Bob has been the best "gig" of 2005… I am looking forward to another year of keeping this site floating – It has been a treat and I am sure Bob has all kinds of neat stuff up his sleeve.
Again, thanks everyone! This has been a hoot!

After two months of health wobbles, I am way behind. On a lot. Over 100 emails stacked up. Holiday shopping not done. The book is a race against time. And here we are in the greatest constitutional crisis since Nixon, and it’s only gonna get more interesting, and I can’t even find time to blog, rant, joke, and complain about the richest bunch of lies which may ever plop in our laps.
But I’m well enough to travel, and so I’m taking my planned trip to Australia. No way I’m missing this trip.
I’ll be gone anywhere from a week to a month, depending. What this means for the blog we’ll all find out together. I might fall asleep on a beach and be eaten by sharks, flood the site with pictures of cute wallabies, miss complaining about this criminal White House that I suddenly burst into frantic ranting, or look too Lebanese in the wrong neighborhood and wind up in intensive care.
You’ll just have to pop back after your own holiday. Next post from Oz…
This came in the email from a reader who wants to remain anonymous. Why, I have no idea.
Maybe they’re worried that Bush has ordered the NSA to secretly wiretap pudus.
They wouldn’t mind. Pudus love tapping on wires. Tap, tap, tap, they go. Sometimes they even dance, their tiny trotters making a sound that makes them giggle. Tikky-tikky-tik, tikky-tikky-tik-tik.
What the NSA doesn’t realize is that this is actually a code. "S-T-O-P-L-I-S-T-E-N-I-N-G" they are saying.
Pudus are very sophisticated little animals.
